Atlantic Ocean - Again
So, you can probably guess: we are doing the second
half of the South Atlantic crossing…
Might sound a bit heroic to you but not in the
slightest appealing to me, you see: Why did the boy cross the ocean? Not
because he wanted to get to the other side, but because he had to.
So now you can kinda guess how I felt, I was just on
shore getting rid of my jelly legs when my dad came round and said, “Come on,
chaps! Let’s get movin’, the sea is waiting!”
Yup, that’s me in the corner groaning (again).
So the first few days of this passage were spent
getting used to sea life again and just pouring over book after book. Although
I was not so happy about this passage business, it did bring quite a few
exciting things for me: such as a little something called “Night watch”!! I actually really loved it! I would spend the
first 45mins to 60mins of the night with Raul.
I know, I know! Don’t worry, I was tied down to the
boat with a life-jacket on me. And yes, I AM trustworthy!
Even though we have been on passage 14 days, we have
not caught 1 single fish, and we have had two lines out (sometimes even OVERNIGHT!!)
So I guess I’ll be saying goodbye for now!
